AVI plays on iMAC with native SL install, but not  on Air with SL upgrade

I have an iMAC that I bought with Snow Leopard installed from the outset and a MacBook Air, which was upgraded from Leopard to SL. Both machines have Perian, VLC, and Flip4Mac installed. Neither computers have Quicktime 7 installed. All software is up-to-date. I have multiple .avi videos that were created with a Microsoft Video 1 codec. These videos play without problem in Quicktime 10 on the iMAC, but cannot be viewed on the upgraded MacBook Air in QT. I already tried reupgrading the OS on the MacBook. Any suggestions?

One of the genius at Apple was able to solve the problem. The SL upgrade did not erase some of the old Leopard settings in the library. After the quicktime directory of both the user library and the main library were deleted, the video files played normally.

  • Can't Update Pages to my iMac. it says "already installed" but! Pages says 4.3.

    Can't Update Pages to my iMac. it says "already installed" but! Pages says 4.3.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Older Pages 5 versions can not open newer Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

    My itunes player on my desktop (Windows7 64 bit) skips while playing songs. I have re-installed but the problem continues. Any suggestions?

    I'm expreriencing the same conditions with the same environment.  Windows 8, iTunes-64 11.1.2.32, iTunes Store with a processing bar up to 80 +/- and the POPUP MESSAGE OF "iTunes stopped working. The error ...."
    I UNINSTALLED, iTUNES WITH NO POSITIVE RESULT.  I CHECKED THE FIREWALL AND IS THE SAME DEFINITION AS THE PREVIOUS ITUNES VERSION.
    My iTunes StoreS from my iPhones ARE OK.

  • Issue with ARD 3.0 not pushing out Installs, Says its installing but not

    Issue with ARD 3.0 not pushing out Installs, Says its installing but not
    Has anyone seen this. It seems to happen with ARD 3, have not seen this in ARD 2.
    I go to the Install Packages on Target Computers, put in: 10.4.7 Combo (for the correct CPU, PPC or Intel), security updates, QT 7.1.2, etc.
    Push it to Macs I can connect to, observe and control.
    The progress bar copies the files (in some instances it does not) and then it just hangs there, bar does not move, Installs never finish, not good, very odd.

    Is it the same clients that have the problem every time? Are those clients doing anything cpu intensive? Have you tried rebooting the affected clients?
    Maybe try a smaller package on those clients.

  • Installed but not found on computer

    I've successfully installed the latest 10.1 for my 64-bit laptop with Windows 7.  A check by Adobe confirms that it was properly installed, and that I have the correct version for my computer.
    AND YET, there is no icon for it anywhere, it doesn't come up on my list of Programs, when I enter "Adobe Flash Player" in the search bar it shows no such program, and when I try to play a FLV file, it won't give me Flash Player as an option. So..... I have it on my computer, but I apparently am not allowed to see it or access it?
    I've uninstalled and re-installed several times, and cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is.  Any help for this maddening situation?

    Hi,
      Yes, I read his comments and I made sure Shockwave Flash Object was enabled in IE as he suggested. I am trying to make a flip book. One of the posts here in the forum said to make a SWF file, which I did. But now I can't figure out how to do anything with it. I thought Flash Reader was the right program to look at it, but maybe I'm wrong? Maybe I need Flash itself? The flip book thing has me pretty frustrated and confused. All the sites and software I've tried are poor quality. I was hoping I could figure out how to do it through Adobe to get better quality.

    Re: Installed but not found on computer
    Hi, Flash Player is a browser plugin, not a stand alone Player. You should have Shockwave Flash Object in add ons in IE and make sure it is enabled.
    Your Flash files are in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash 
    You may want the Adobe Media Player:http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/   
    Hope that helps,

  • How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

    How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

    Anubha,
    It worked! Thank you so much.
    I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
    but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
    program...', it worked like a charm.
    Again, thank you!

    thank you!

    Hi Anne,
    Your version of Safari is still supported.  Please see Adobe Flash Player | Tech specs for supported OS and browsers.
    If the Flash Player plugin is in the Plug-ins (disabled) folder it's because it's an older version that Apple has disabled in Safari.  This has nothing to do with whether or not Flash Player supports the browser.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "when i click on flash player itself i am told there is no application to open it."  Flash Player.plugin only works in the browser to view Flash content in the browser.  The plugin does not open files outside of the browser.  If you have SWF files you'd like to view outside of the browser, then you'll need the Flash Player projector. However, based on your previous comments this doesn't appear to be what you are trying to do.
    Google Chrome does embed Flash Player in it, while Firefox does not.   Mozilla has also recently started blocking older versions of Flash Player in Firefox similar to what Apple is doing in Safari.
    Following the 'clean install' instructions should result in you having the latest version of Flash Player installed that will not be blocked by the browser.

  • ADE installed but not recognized

    I am using Windows 10, a Nook, My Media Mall.  ADE is installed, my computer authorized and I am activated.  When I download an E book, it appears to be downloaded, but when I try "open with" the only option showing is Adobe Reader. Then, I look for other programs but ADE is not listed as an option.  Is there something I have not done?

    Windows 7 and IE 11 ... I also use Firefox, for business only.

  • Device technical installed but not billing related.

    Hi Expert,
    How can I find out if a deive is technical installed but not billing related?
    I've tried to make a querry in SQVI where I use the tables EGERH and EASTL with a left outer join on logical number and a time slice
    This doesn't give me the expect result.
    Does anyone have an idea?
    Edited by: R.L.Groener on Nov 22, 2011 8:39 PM

    Hi,
    EASTL-BIS Not Equal to 31.12.9999      This is to avoid the devices which are Billing related installed as this is left outer join on EGERH and EASTL so this will fetch the records which are present in EGERH and in EASTL; and also the records which are in EGERH and not in EASTL.
    EASTL Not Equal to 00.00.0000       This is optional. if you want only the devices which were sometime installed billing related (example-device was billing related removed after few days)
    Let me know if more information is required.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ranjit Thakur.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop

    Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop
    I got a new laptop Windows 7.  I installed Blackberry Desktop apparently successfully.  However, doesn't appear on start menu nor desktop.

    Hey tgcraighead,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    After the installation did you restart the computer?  If you go into Control Panel>Programs and Features do you see BlackBerry Desktop Software listed in the applications?
    Did you have a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.
